I hope this sample code helps

def getfileinfo(filename):
	print 'Filename : %s' % filename
	stats = os.stat(filename)
	size = stats[stat.ST_SIZE]
	print 'File Size is %d bytes' % size

	accessed = stats[stat.ST_ATIME]
	modified = stats[stat.ST_MTIME]

	print 'Last accessed: ' + time.ctime(accessed)
	print 'Last modified: ' + time.ctime(modified)

Regards,
Praveen
